Gotmils? Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 Just wondering if it would be worth the money my goal is getting in the 5s in the 1/8 with me on it(215) my chassis is very light and i know tires and gearing and overall setup plays a big role..but I've seen some supercub run in the 5s but not with someone my size on it. .now I already have the supercub but ive never ran it....if the dm is worth it then I will buy a dm Quote

LT ROOKIE Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 I'm in a similar situation. I am 230 and about finish with my 535 10 mill cheetah. Is this motor capable of running 5's with my weight or does it take a DM to do it. Gentlemen we just want to know if the smaller motors can pull our weight that distance in 5 plus seconds. Quote
Gotmils? Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Posted October 22, 2013 Yess this is all I need to know any info will help I would like to here from some of guys that has ran one of these motors or know about these motors Quote
JayCLL Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 DM for sure. 10 DM is a great motor, wish I never would have sold mine lol. But you already have the SC why not see what it does before you spend money on case work and a new topend Quote
Gotmils? Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Posted October 22, 2013 Running the sc was the plan and still might be if it doesnt sell but I hate run it and it doesn't run the number im looking for... I just want to stick with one motor and be happy.. ive already had 4 different motors this year Quote

locogato11283 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 This is simple. Buy that 20DM in the for sale section and be done with it. Quote
Gotmils? Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Posted October 23, 2013 I know the setup up is the key and Ive thought about that 20dm but I know a guy with 10dmx for 6500 from carbs to pipes..im just confused as f*** Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 More often than not continually changing your motor combo will yield disappointing results. Id spend much more time perfecting a setup with a motor than constantly changing the power plant. Quote

Id spend much more time perfecting a setup with a motor than constantly changing the power plant. I've seen this first hand. Everyone always assumes it's the motor's fault. Quote
Gotmils? Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Posted October 23, 2013 Yep this is me started with 7milcub by k&t then went to a 565 trex then a 421cub now this 521 supercub... I think im going to just run my supercub if it doesnt sell and just get it as close as I can to the 5s..hell who knows it might run in the 5s Quote
trickedcarbine Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 It definitely should. STY has with a 443 cub in a stock chassis. So spend time making it all work and see what you get. You mention you had a light weight chassis, is it a modded stocker or legit drag frame? Quote
